Classic British Flight Sim

Hi All

Does anyone have any pictures of the post war jet powered viscount, think they used the Tay turbojets (may have been nene?)

Thanks All

Scott.

Thanks Gary



PS anyone of you talented model makers out there thought of 'doing' this ?

Ah yes.. the Tay Viscount.. another one on Rick's list

A perfect compliment for the Nene Viking..

OK.. to qualify that a little, they're actually on my list for Rick and have been for years. I got fed up of being told to *eck off :huf:

I do know of one planned and awaiting details and accurate three views

It has virtually nothing in common with the later Viscounts

Even now the project is still secret :shock:

Don't say anymore.. you'd have to kill us all!!

So just between me & you Garry, did a Jet Viscount actually get in the air then? What was the idea, a testbed?

Tonks......You'll have to shoot us all!! :shock:

Thanks for that

It was obvious that the Viscount could never be sold as it was do the design was scaled up into the V.700

The incomplete and now unneeded second prototype was finished as a testbed with Tays and the third was abandoned with some parts going to the V.700 prototype.

The link I gave above has a history of the aircraft as well as a gallery.

Although apparently so many people have visited now that the site's broke...
